Analyst bonus in cash or other forms?

Do analyst bonuses always get paid in cash? Or do banks sometimes pay analysts in shares or other combos (ie restricted shares, delayed-vesting shares etc)?

This is for BB in London btw.

jackofalltradesUsually half cash, half a combination of Dick's gift certificates and bacon-of-the-month club memberships

Just love this. Possibly a new signature quote...

agree with Jackofalltrades, it will most likely be part cash part company stock. Given the whole GFC and public backlash on excessive bonus, dont be surprised when you find out your cash bonus less than you thought. :(
